tect oysters and CLAIMS.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 2S.--The Governor
has vetoed TIE bill TO protect clam and
oyster fisheries by prohibiting the bivalves
being taken in certain ways and in certain
seasons, etc. The bill was submitted to the
Attorney General. who gave it thorough
examination. The reason assigned for the
veto is that it does not provide proper ma
chinery for carrying the law into effect,
and further because there is no limit fixed
TO the pecuniary penalty, which is uncon-
stitutional.
In pursuance of a resolution of the Gener-
al Assembly approved Oct "a, 1887, Treas

that Pope is innocent, and another negro,
who is in custody, guilty.

KILLED BY ALCOHOLISM.
A Covington Mans Spree at the State
Fair Ends in His Death.

MACON, GA. Oct. ga. l.. Davidson, of
Covington, lies dead in his room at the
Brown House, having died few moments
after midnight. Last Saturday Mr.. David
son registered at the Brown House, and that
evening paid his bill Manager Mitchell
thought he had left the city, but it seems
that Mr. Davidson continued to remain at
the hotel, and very probably confined him
self closely to his room in an up
per story, and in the great rush and
excitement of the State Fair his presence
was not noticed among the large
number of guests. The suppOsition is that
he had been drinking heavily and stayed
several days in his room without eating any
thing, and consequently became very weak.
Yesterday afternoon about $50 o'clock he
came out of his room and started to walk
down stairs, but stumbled and fell down
the steps, and cut a severe cash on his
heal DR. w. G. Gibson was summoned
and administered to his relief and gave the
necessary medicines to bring him from
under the effects of the liquor. Manager
Mitchell and Mrs. G. G.. Brown, the propri-
etress, did everything in their power for the
comfort and care of the unfortunate man.
They extremely regretted the accident, and
left nothing undone that could administer
to his relief At o'clock last night Dr.
Gibson again called to see his patient and
found him in sinking condition and stated
to Manager Mitchell and Mrs. Brown that
Mr.. Davidson would probably die before
morning. Just at II o'clock last night DR..
Gibson was summoned by telephone
to come Immediately to see Mr. Davidson.
The Doctor left home instantly, but before
he could reach the Brown House, Davidson
had breathed his last. DR.. Gibson gives it
as his opinion that death was the result of
alcoholic poisoning. Manager Mitchell tel
egraphed to the Mayor of Covington to
know what disposition should be made of
the body The Mayor replied that he had
telegraphed to Mr.. Davidson's sister at Con-
yers for instructions. 1t is probable that
the remains will be shipped to Covington
tonight Circulars found among Mr.. Da-
Wilson'S effects at the Brown House show
that he was travelling in the interest of the
Davidson fertilizer

BUSINESS STILL BRISK.
sEPTEMBER's EXCESS, OF COURSE,
HAS A LITTLE EFFECT.

Collections Much Better Than Was
Predicted Week or TWO Ago-Con-
sentative Indisposition to Undertake
New Enterprises Reported In Many
Quarters Fair Progress in Settle
ments.
NEW York, Oct. OR. G. Dun & Co. :
review of trade for the week says: During
the past week, and during the month, the
volume of business has diminished some
what, as is natural at this season; but the
October trade, in some branches and sec
tions, falls behind that of the same month
last year, a fact partly explained by the I'M
usual volume of business in September. The
dis ri1ution of goods purchased does not
quite meet expectations, and collections are
still slow or but fair in many quarters,
though the situation in that respect is more
favorable than it appeared to be a week or
two ago. Demands for accommodation from
the West and South are still frequent, and
the demand for money from this point has
not ceased, though it has lessened in volume,
partly because many balances have been
drawn dawn to minimum, and some ap-
picatiOns for accommodation have been re-
tivity in trade, and railroad statistics show
movement of products large for the season.
Conservative indispositon to undertake new
enterprises has appeared Sslce July, and has
brought a timely check in railroad building,
real estate operations, and some branches of
manufacturing.
LIQUIDATING PAST OPERATIONS.
consequently liquidation of past opera
lions is now the feature of most interest. If
that progresses satisfactorily tue outlook
for an excellent trade in the future is good.
Thus far the returns indicate fair progress
in settlements in most branches of trade,
and at most Southern and Western points,
but some exceptions are noted. At several
localities where real estate speculation had
become excessive year ago failure to make
second payments is now producing a reac
ton with severe losses to many. All over
the Southwest there are many holders
of real estate paper who are seeking pay
ments, not always with success. From
most points this weeks reports indicate
some Improvement in collections, a fair ac
tivity in business and diminishing stringency
in the money markets. Distinct improve
ment appears at Louisville, Memphis and
Atlanta, The iron trade still hesitates, and
the market for other than the best grades is
very irregular. More inquiry for rails is
noted, but orders are not up to
expectations, and there are reports of sales
at 1913. The coal supply is short, and the
Lehigh strike does not end. The miners are
losing over S10,0O0,01O per month. The
prices of cotton goods are firm and the
movement satisfactory. The business fail
ures throughout the country during last
week number for the United States 1913, and
for Canada %, total of PIG against POI

A THIEF IN A FATAL TRAP.
The Owner Of a Store Placed a Gun
With a String on Its Trigger.

ATHENS, GA, Oct. 2s.-Ben Cochrane, a
prosperous merchant of Oconee county, has
been suffering very much lately from par
ties breaking into his store and considerably
decreasing his stock. A broken window in
the store caused Mr.. Cochrane to suspect it
as the entrance of the thief, so on last
Wednesday he loaded a double-barreled
shotgun, placed it at a convenient point iii
the room and tied to the trigger a string
which he passed by the window on the in
pears, Sam Jones, negro. living
in the vicinity, wishing to replenish his
pantry in cheap way, entered the window,
pulled against the string and received the
two loads in his left side. Jones staggered
off few steps, but fell dead. Cochrane is
not blamed in the least, as every man has
right to protect himself against thieves
